Been misting here, just damp enough to have to quit. Forecast looks like
crap. So much for dust!

If we would get today we are at 2/3 done before the rainy season. Last night I went till I almost put the drill in a slough because I just couldn't turn the drill pushed me to the waters edge before I gripped and turned. Decided it was time to quit.

I've only been stuck once so far this spring, had to see how to get the new towbetween rig out of the mud. We got our first rain of the season, 1/2 inch I'm guessing. The seeder is caught up to the sprayer so we need some calmer weather before we roll again. Just barley left.

Just over 70mm here or 2.75 inches. We needed
it here SE of Calgary in the Indus/Strathmore
area. Glad it eased up last night. Was starting to
reform sloughs and reaching a saturation point.
Crops just drinking it up now.

This was very, very, very much needed here. Drought like conditions up until this started.

Very, very, very welcomed!! I know you guys hate mud, We hate dust.

Planted all day yesterday in that relentless wind.
A sprinkling last night. Spittering here now.
#LazyBitch still in my nightgown, altho I did pull a
coat overtop to go outside for 15 minutes. No
walk. No biking. Hot shower pre UFC in an hour,
starting with preliminaries. Marguerta mixed and
in freezer compartment. #ParsleyHeaven )

Good on me I transplanted my tomatoes in the rain. Also bathed the stinky dog. Visitted my dad in morning and he said dont you have maintenance to do, I said yes but I think I got it up to date. Parsley do you have potatoes out of the ground???

[parsley]

Might be through this morning. Ground all
cracked yesterday. Early lettuce, radish, beets,
onions up. I did meander out to plop in 8
crowded cabbage yesterday, while I was crowing,
but it has been way too windy and dry to
transplant plant tomatoes. Has the makings of a
cutworm-year. Check your fields for those tiny
ones. Skunks everywhere, but they've finally lost
their boldness.....The remaining raccoons remain
cany and openly viscious, but pb allergic to my
space. Planting a garden bears fruit for the
pocketbook, belly and soul, clever-hopper. Pars.

Do you have a garden planter Parsley?

[parsley]

yes, I do, but I haven't used it for several years.
As silly as it sounds, I love the feel of the soil in
my hands and feet, and garden barefoot all
summer bi have taken to sprouting corn and
beans etc in a sprouter. Seeders cannot
accommodate sturdy thick sprouts!

Yous a good ol dirt digger. I am all for speed.
